Sugar's Rehab

Sugar

She was around 20 lbs underweight, we later found out. All of her bones protruded and her skin sagged. Not wanting to seem immediately confrontational, we asked if the dog's puppies were around and if we could see them, and he led us around the house. He said her name was Sugar.

While I entertained the puppies, my mother gently explained that the momma was underweight and that it would kill her to feed ten pups if she wasn't getting a lot of food. He didn't seem to understand that a nursing dog needed more nutrition than a normal one. After some persuasion we got him to agree to let us take the puppies and Sugar. We immediately got to work taking them all to the vet and providing adequate food.
